What if Paul’s commands weren’t rules at all—but invitations?

In this episode, we dig into the shocking tension in Paul’s letters: radical grace followed by what sounds like a list of moral commands. Was he contradicting himself? Or have we misunderstood his tone completely?

👉 You’ll discover:
– Why Paul always starts with identity, not obligation
– What imperatives really mean for the believer
– Why legalists accused Paul of preaching license
– How fear-based obedience is killing modern discipleship
– Why true holiness can only come from love, not shame

Romans 2:4 says that it is the kindness of God that leads to repentance. So why do we treat it like fear is the motivating factor?

💥 If you've ever felt confused by the back-and-forth in Paul’s letters—or burned by legalism—this one’s for you.

📖 Scripture referenced: Romans 6, Galatians, 2 Corinthians 5, Ephesians 4
